I know it's terribly outre to imply that the constitution and its amendments might actually mean what they say. I apologize. I'm just a simple man.

Disclaimer: As always, doing anything I say is likely impractical and illegal. Areca catechu: AKA betel nut or betel palm; a shinny neck member of the palmaceae family with arecoline containing nuts used as an intoxicant in places such as Guam. The Chinese government is attemping to crack down on the cultivation of betel nut (see for yourself). People from Guam, which is under control of the USA, come to Florida and/or California as the climate best suits betel nut cultivation. For Guamese to grow betel nut in these places is easy. As a result, it is now widely cultivated in these areas, and A.catechu palms are commonly sold in nurseries. As you have read from the Chinese government's report on betel nut crackdowns, it can easily become an epidemic. In Taiwan, betel nuts are the #2 most valueable crop. Rice still holds #1. Most, if not all Southeast Asian countries have merchants peddling them on the streets. The nut sold by Southeast Asian A.catechu peddlers is meant to be inserted in the mouth and the sucked, knawed, licked, and otherwise saliva soaked to release the powerful stimulant arecoline. The arecoline forms more rapidly with the addition of lime, a mineral one might find in a deep hole. Ok, so you want to start your own betel nut farm right? Hectares of tall and skinny palm trees yielding tons of betel nuts a year? For climate, as already stated, somewhere in Palmaceae country like California. They can either be purchased live for between $20 and $40 for a small tree or grown straight from seed. Terilized seeds from a group of start plants will tend to increase adaptability of the seeds in furthur generations to your particular microclimate. Dig a big hole in the ground with a good shovel. Now fill the hole with regular compost. Fill a smaller inner hole full of softer compost. Put your seed in the smaller hole. This can be illustrated as such: TOP XXXXXXXXX XXX^^^^^XXX XXX^^^*^^^XXX XXX^^^^^^XX XXXXXXXXX SIDE ^^^^^^^^XXXX *^^^^XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXX Water it a little every day when it is small and a little more every other day when it is tall. Get the seeds and dig an even deeper hole to get a good supply of lime. Now put a little bit of lime with a betel nut wrapped in a leaflet and suck away at these until your gums fall out and you develop mouth cancer. |

The Cross Canadian Ragweed Red Dirt Roundup
Went to one of the only really enjoyable outdoor concerts I can remember (maybe I didn't enjoy it enough). The finest in dirty hillbilly music: The Cross Canadian Ragweed Red Dirt Roundup. For those ignorants, Cross Canadian Ragweed is a horrendous allergan in Texas, and it's also a band. In a great show of humility, CCR was the worst major act in their line up. Fortunately, they have talented friends. (More...)
A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.

We here at Spock Mountain Research Labs (SMRL - world leaders in beverage research and leisure technology) have been noting some complaints about a few of the last Spocktails recipes we’ve released to the general public. Some complaints received to barfback and pigdog-l have centered around the opinion that no one in their right minds would make the drink in question much less consume it. (More...)
The quest for knowledge never ends at the super top secret Spock Mountain Laboratory, although it is frequently interrupted by beverage breaks. Recently, a team of crack ethnomixologists returned from a dangerous expedition to the frozen expanse of Canada with the much sought recipe for a Spocktail that is destined to replace blunt force head trauma as the major cause of brain damage in the civilized world.
